Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you donāt use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.

Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but itās important to really get in there so dust doesnāt affect your sleep.
